政治化戏剧与戏剧化政治--热内《阳台》再解读

Politicized Drama and Dramatic Politics: Reinterpretation of The Balcony

戏剧是热内突破自传式文学风格,反抗政治权力话语,表现个体生存状况的重要艺术手段。《阳台》表面上是对西方旧式妓院的自然主义重建与复兴,实质却是对当代西方资本主义社会进行的一次结构性模拟,再现了西方政治通过图像、造型、仪式等符号技术手段进行权力展演并对个体进行传唤、规训的政治宣传过程。在一系列表演化、戏剧化的政治实践中,政治的真正内核已然被掏空,剩余的仅是舞台上的一幕幕闹剧。热内的戏剧实践,是以政治化的戏剧对抗戏剧化的西方政治现实,以此宣示他个人对西方资本主义社会的反叛与抗争。

Jean Genet harnessed drama as an artistic means to break through his autobiographical writing style,resist the discourse of the political power and express the living condition of individuals. On the surface,The Balcony is a naturalistic reconstruction and revival of the old western brothel. But in essence,it is a structural simulation of contemporary western capitalist society,which reproduced the way the western politics disciplined individuals with symbolic power. This process is also a process of political propaganda. In a series of political practices,which were performative and dramatic,the real core of politics has been hollowed out,and what remains is only a farce on the stage. The Balcony is a political drama,with which Jean Genet battled against the dramatic western political reality,and thus declared his personal resistance and rebellion against the western capitalistic society.
